“Beth and her music was a fabulous addition to our Glenora Community Picnic in the Park. She created the perfect atmosphere that reached from our youngest to our eldest community members. She is truly delightful and we hope she will join us again at our next Picnic in the Park. She knows how to make your event feel special! ” - Glenora Community League
